Four unidentified male suspects cooperate to steal around $3,000 worth of electrical equipment from Menards.
According to the Salina Police Department on Monday, June 9th at around 2:00 pm, employees from Menards (805 Virginia Ct.) contacted police regarding a theft.
It was reported that the day before on June 8th at about 2:15 pm, two male suspects had entered the store, picked up a Menards bucket and went over to the electrical aisle. Once they arrived in the electrical aisle, the two then loaded the bucket with different sized electrical breakers. Once they loaded the bucket, they then took the bucket of electrical breakers and placed it in a different aisle.
Around 15 minutes later, two different male suspects enter the store, grabbed a shopping cart and placed two backpacks in it. Afterwards, they walked over to the aisle where the former two suspects placed the bucket of electrical breakers and allegedly grabbed the breakers to put them in the backpacks.
Once they placed the breakers inside the backpacks, the two suspects then walked out of the store and left in grey pickup truck. The make and model of the truck was not given at this time.
Throughout the investigation, Salina Police have indicated that 62 electrical breakers were stolen.
Loss of value was listed at around $3,000.
